Buying Tips

Whether youíre playing on your home dartboard or out with friends, learn the ropes with this quick how-to guide on the game of darts.

Most places have their own house rules, but get started with these standard guidelines:

Shooting order:

To decide who shoots first, both players shoot for the bullseye. The player who comes closest shoots first and turns alternate thereafter.

A turn consists of three darts, each thrown from behind the oche, or throw-line.

Legal throws:

The point of the dart must touch the board to count.

Darts that miss the board or bounce to the floor do not score and cannot be thrown again. A player may pick up and play a dropped dart.

Scoring:

The playing area is divided into wedges, each with a point value marked along the outer edge. Two rings overlap the playing area, signaling double or triple points if a dart lands within them.

A. Single (face value) points

B. Double points ring

C. Triple points ring

D. Single bull, 25 points

E. Double bull, 50 points

Board Set-up:

Mount the dart board on a wall with the center of the double bull at 5 ft 8 in from the floor.

Mark the oche, or toeline, at 7 ft 9.25 in from the face of the board. Remember to take into account the dart board depth when measuring the toeline. A bristle dart board has an average depth of 1.5 inches.
